In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has found herself at the center of a fresh scandal, all thanks to her choice of outfit at the Bob Marley One Love movie premiere in Jamaica.
The designer behind the dress, Carolina Herrera, has come forward to reveal the truth behind Markle’s fashion misstep.
Markle opted for a black layered top and a voluminous black skirt by Carolina Herrera, a brand she had previously worn.
However, according to the designer, the gown was excessively long and ill-suited for her body.
It is alleged that Markle rejected a better design offered to her, raising questions about her credibility and heightening the controversy surrounding her fashion choices.
Expressing shock and disappointment, the designer criticized Markle’s wardrobe choice for the premiere at the Carib Theatre in Kingston on January 23.
Meanwhile, Carolina Herrera president Emily Rubenfeld shed light on the original design plan, stating that the skirt was intended to be combined with a white shirt and a big belt.
However, Markle broke the design by pairing the skirt with a black tank top, resulting in an overall outfit that was deemed informal and inappropriate.
Furthermore, it is argued that Markle’s height and body shape did not complement the dress.
The designer pointed out that the dress was not meant to drag on the ground in the front and should have been worn higher up under the bust.
Comparisons were made between Markle’s images wearing the dress and those of the models, highlighting the mismatch between the intended look and its execution.
Critics argue that Markle’s choice to wear a long skirt was an intentional move to undermine Carolina Herrera’s reputation.
Netizens took to social media to express their disapproval, with one user commenting on the stark contrast between the model’s perfectly fitted skirt and Markle’s ill-fitting one.
Another user criticized Markle’s lack of awareness, stating that wearing a full ball gown skirt to a movie premiere was impractical and would only result in discomfort for both the wearer and those seated nearby.
The controversy surrounding Markle’s fashion choices has sparked discussions about her self-awareness and ability to dress appropriately for different occasions.
Some argue that her attempts to dress like a runway model are delusional, considering her height and body frame.
Others highlight the importance of tailoring and choosing outfits that suit one’s physique and the specific event.
It is clear that Markle’s fashion choices continue to be closely scrutinized, with every misstep attracting attention and criticism.
As she navigates her role as a member of the royal family, it remains to be seen how she will address these concerns and adapt her style to avoid further controversies.
